PS

Have you ever assumed how an ex-offender would look like?

We probably would have, wouldn’t we?

Have you ever wondered who you are sitting next to at the bus-stop, at the food centre, or in a movie theatre?

We probably wouldn’t, would we?

A group of five youths did not just wondered about it.

(Photo: from left to right) Nadiah Kamsir (WIL Alumni, BIT graduate of 2005), Nicholas Goh (Nanyang Polytechnic Final-Year student), Isaiah Das (NUS Final-Year Honours student), Mazuin Khamis (BA CARES Alumni, BS graduate of 2004), and Gladys Wong (BA CARES Alumni, BS graduate of 2005), have come together to write the book, ‘Unwritten’.

Their book chronicles the trials and tribulations of the some of those who have served time for crimes such as rioting, theft, underage sex and drug use.

Would you want to read about it? We hope you would.

Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Andrew & Grace Home for troubled female teens and Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Student Aid Fund. It will be officially launched on 25th November 2006 in conjunction with a 100km run to raise funds for the home. The paperback version will be sold for $10 each and the hardback for a minimum donation of $100. Orders can be placed by e-mailing to unwritten.stories@gmail.com.

Check out their story at http://www.lifemcqs.blogspot.com/.

HELLO!!! (:

Ngee Ann Boys' Brigade Primers would like to invite ALL CCA clubs/societies to help in the coming NP BB Sharity Gift Box in the following ways;

Background info

The BB SGB project is unique as it challenges donors to go beyond the mere giving of money; they are called to make the extra effort to buy the food items such as rice, sugar, biscuits, canned food, other daily necessities or gifts wished for, by a child from a poor family, elderly or family in our society.

SGB is an event which carries out annually to bring cheers to the less fortunate people during the Christmas seasons, by doing a house-to-house collection and will be handed directly to the less fortunate people. Before this, we need to do a house-to-house publicity as well. We hope the clubs/societies can help us by providing the manpower to help us in both areas of external publicity as well as the house-to-house collection. Our target is to have 300 volunteers to join us for this magnificent and meaningful event. We promise to provide the best welfare for the volunteers.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! We really need your help!! Thank you! =)
